Gary I know Strathdon and it can be wild! Glad you got home safely though. M8 has been a nightmare all day here, my nephew took 3 hours to do a 40 minute journey from work to home in Livingston, and my son decided not to try from Paisley as the motorway was closed due to an accident, and it's been snowing nonstop all day. I let the dogs out in the garden at 10.30 tonight, forgetting the gate into the front paddock was stuck open. 2 came back, no sign of Allez despite shouting and whistling so I reckoned he somehow must have got out, although I know it's secure in my heart. Got togged up, went out the front gate, struggled up the drive onto the lane whistling and calling him all the time, thinking somehow he'd got across to the filed over the lane or worse still on to the bypass or the railway line. After about 20 minutes and starting to cry, fearing I'd not find him in pitch black and heavy snow, suddenly realised he was standing beside me, on the inside of the fence. I cannot repeat the words that came out of my mouth because I do not know such words
Suffice to say he practically crawled down the paddock, through the gate and heeled all the way back to the house. Just glad there isn't a webcam on the bypass, I must have looked a right sight
I guess the paddock is secure, he just didn't want to come in yet.
